User blog:The Blookster V2/Storytime with Blookster No. 3: Trends and Trouble

Welcome back to Storytime with Blookster. The series where I go over events that happened to me or just discuss random things to my fellow Wiki Dwellers.

Today is another Discussion. I've wanted to adress one of these topics for a while now, and after the sucsess of my previous discussion, it seems like this is the perfect time to do so.

Trends happen a lot on this wiki. And I mean a lot. We've seen tons and tons of trends stick around and then just dissapear. One of the biggest trends on this wiki was the story trend. And I don't mean exaggerated things that actually happened (Like this series of blogposts) I mean actual stories. These things were everywhere last autumn. Now we have the song trend. Now, I don't think there's anything wrong with trends, but I find it to kinda take away any sort of fairness when it comes to others in need. Now please don't kill me for having an opinion in the comments I'm a good boi, but hear me out.

When it comes to trends, there's kind of a sense of unfairness when it comes to things such as urgent needs or just wanting to be on the popular blogpost page for once. Say you really need a Mega Gengar because you got scammed. It could go either way for you. You could get people who want to help you, or you could get someone who made a Despacito parody to take all the help you need away from you.

Let's say you're hosting a giveaway. And then someone makes a Smashmouth parody. Well, I hope you like those Pokemon, because for the next few weeks, you'll have 'em in stock!

Or let's just say you wrote a big chunk of information for the new update. All you need is someone to make a Gucci Gang parody, and all that information you wrote down was pointless!

If you want to make a parody, that's fine. But just keep in mind that you may wrong someone in the process. I've seen this happen a lot now. So please keep this in mind.
